...carbon unite, there is an extrication of caloric. We have an example of this in the common fire, where the carbon of the fuel unites with the oxygen of the air in the chamber, forming carbonic acid, the union being accompanied with evolution of heat and light.... | |

...employed, and occasionally coal gas. 92. The heat produced during the burning of fuel is given out when the carbon of the fuel unites with the oxygen of the air, and carbonic acid gas is produced, as it is by the breathing of men and animals. This poisonous gas... | |

...which may be seen almost daily, but especially in frosty weather behind the kitchen firegrate, where the carbon of the fuel unites with the oxygen of the air that passes within the grates to form carbonic dioxide, and this gas in passing through the red hot... | |

...is a small quantity of carbonic acid mixed with the air. When coal, wood, or other substances burn, the carbon of the fuel unites with the oxygen of the air, and forms carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is also formed in breathing. It is as invisible as air, and... | |

...obtained from coal in the form of coke ; from wood as charcoal ; and from oil-lamps as lamp-black. Carbon is considered as the next most abundant body in nature to oxygen. The carbon of fuel produces the glowing heat of combustion, and the purer the carbon the more intense... | |
